Holy Roman Empire

After entering October, the Russian-Prussian War has entered a new stage. The two sides fought hard again, fighting in a dark, **** river.

In East Prussia, the general forces have the upper hand; in Poland, the Russian forces have oppressed the combined forces of the Popo.

Austria also sent military observers to watch the intelligence collected from the battlefield, and Franz was secretly grateful.

Sure enough, there is nothing wrong with fame. The name of the European Empire's supremacy in the Russian Empire was played out. The Russian military's combat effectiveness is definitely at the forefront of the world in this era.

The Russian Empire plunged all the way in space and time, still being jeopardized by other countries, but it was not just what the paragraph said-winter and vast territory.

The strategic advantage brought by geography is only useful when defending. The war mainly relied on people, and the geographical conditions were just auxiliary.

The Prussian Army has reached the forefront of the world, but on the battlefield, their advantages are not obvious.

In the case of inferior weapons and equipment, the Russian army can use the flesh and blood to block the general army, and after the replacement, the battle loss ratio of the two sides is gradually drawn closer.

The general army also relied on their training advantages to give them a slight advantage. When they encountered some elite Russian troops, they would even be at a disadvantage.

The Near East War was not a vain attack. It lost nearly a million troops, and the Tsarist government harvested a powerful army.

Schönbrunn Palace, high-level military meeting.

"You all read the information. From the information gathered so far, who do you think will win the battle?"

Franz only asked about this battle, not the victory of the entire war. The power gap between the two parties is too big. As long as the tsarist government is willing to burst out, the ultimate winner is obvious.

Not to mention Prussia, in the face of the desperate Russian Empire, no country in the world dare to guarantee victory.

Even if Austria and Russia face each other, Franz must use outside moves to win.

Otherwise, the two sides struggled with their strength and suffered millions of casualties. Where is there any victory at all?

People in this era dared not imagine a war that lost millions of people at once, but Franz knew it.

The Russian Empire is so big that a wave of it is not even at all, and it can only kill people. Once this happens, where is the winner?

Chief of General Staff Marshal Edmond replied: "His Majesty, from the current situation, I am more optimistic about the Kingdom of Prussia.

They seem to be preparing a big plan. From the point of view of the deployment of forces, the Prussian army is preparing for a decisive battle with the Russian army in East Prussia.

Once they have completed their plans, at least half of the more than 300,000 Russian troops in East Prussia will be left behind.

The Russian commander was too arrogant and wanted to make a breakthrough without thinking about the danger at all. In the disadvantaged situation, they still did not shrink the front. "

This is understandable. The fighting between the two general forces of Russia and Russia is not large. Even if they are at a disadvantage, it is nothing more than soldiers' casualties. Russian commanders do not advise.

The gray animals were worthless. They took the initiative to fight the attrition war with the general forces. As long as they can win the war, the tsarist government will not care about the casualties.

In the previous 2: 1, 3: 1 exchange, the Russian army dared to fight. Now the casualty ratio has dropped to 1.3: 1. Occasionally, it may still be cheap. Why dare not fight?

Secretary of the Army Albrecht analyzed: "Prussia's recent movements have been abnormal, and a large number of strategic materials have arrived on the frontline in advance. These materials have exceeded the needs of the frontline.

It is justified to have more grain and ammunition, but the extra tents and daily necessities are definitely problematic.

According to a preliminary estimate, even if there were a sudden increase of 200,000 troops, their material reserves were sufficient. I guess the Prussians are about to send more troops to the East Prussian front. These are just early preparations.

At present, the messy army of the Prussian kingdom adds up to 1.2 million.

Among them, there are about 400,000 main forces and about 150,000 second-line reserve forces. The rest are recruits recruited temporarily.

The main forces were fighting hard against the Russians on the front lines, and the second-line forces were also in Poland, working with the Polish insurgents to resist the Russian attack.

The remaining temporary recruits did not have much combat power, and now they are conducting military training while guarding the coastal areas.

After fighting for so long, some of these recruits have completed preliminary training and have the power of World War I.

With equal strength on both sides, investing in the battlefield is enough to change the outcome of a war.

This aspect is not comparable to the Russians, limited by logistical supplies, they can only maintain their current strength. "

In history, the Prussian kingdom completed the counterattack. It was not that their army was much stronger than the enemy. The main link was to concentrate the superior forces and engage the enemy.

The Austrian-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War were won by absolute superiority. If the strength is really the same, it will be a hard battle. How can there be a rolling victory?

The Russian-Prussian War has been going on for so long, and they have not taken out this tactic. There are two main reasons: First, there are too many tsarist troops; second, the traffic in Russia is too bad, and active attack on logistics is a big problem .

Now that the Russian army has entered East Prussia, the situation has changed. In local warfare, the railway advantages of the Kingdom of Prussia can be exploited.

This means that the Prussians have the ability to increase their troops to a certain region in the short term, establish a regional military advantage, and increase the odds of victory in the war.

Franz is no longer a military noob. He already has the ability to talk on paper, and is short of the actual combat ability.

There is no way. The small war cannot be commanded by the emperor, and Franz is afraid to command, so the last shortcoming-no solution.

Looking at the simulated battlefield sand table, Franz quickly reassured. There was no collapse in this game. Although the combat effectiveness of the Russian army was strengthened, they did not strengthen the command capabilities of high-ranking Russian officers.

The Kingdom of Prussia has not yet reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted. Anyway, it is also a country with a population of 15 million, and it has potential to be tapped.

As a semi-industrial country, the mobilization capacity of the Kingdom of Prussia has greatly increased. Now with the support of the gold master, it is not a dream to complete extreme mobilization.

The recruits were mobilized temporarily, although they did not have much fighting power. However, during the decisive battle, these troops suddenly appeared on the battlefield, which could also be the last straw to change the outcome of the war.

As for the attack by the Russian army, the big deal is to lose a few coastal cities, and warships cannot land on the land. Can the navy go alone?

Father, like son. As an onlooker, knowing and knowing, Franz did not have the slightest intention to remind the tsarist government.

The Russian Empire had a great career, and at this point they lost what they could afford. The Prussian kingdom has limited strength, and it will defeat the Russian army at most, and it will not be possible to swallow hundreds of thousands of Russian troops in one go.

...

At the time of Franz's military deduction, the Kingdom of Pru, which had been prepared, also began operations.

Railroads across the country quickly moved, and trains carried soldiers scattered to the front. In just two days, they sent 150,000 troops to the East Prussian front.

The big decisive battle officially broke out, and the sudden emergence of the new force immediately hit the Russian commander.

Under normal circumstances, it will take ten days and a half months to mobilize troops of this size, and they have enough time to adjust their deployment.

However, in just two days, Prussian reinforcements arrived. The Russian army has no way to complete the adjustment of the front for several hundred kilometers within two days.

In some regions, the Prussian army even formed a four or five-time military advantage and launched an offensive against the Russian army.

As a result, there was no suspense. Although the Russian army resisted very heroically, it still could not change the fate of failure.

The East Prussian region is the native land of the Prussian kingdom. The general forces are very familiar with the local situation. After breaking through the Russian defense line, they immediately interspersed.

At the same time, the Prussians also formed a squadron of squadrons out of the East Prussian region, sending this small unit to destroy the Russian telegraph line.

Organizing hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, the telegraph is the biggest black technology. Without a telegram to pass orders, relying on the order to send letters, the efficiency is too low.

Due to inadequate precautions, the Russian army quickly suffered a big loss. Without a telegram to communicate information in a timely manner, the frontline Russian forces soon fell into an awkward situation of their own war.

In particular, the troops that suffered defeats have become headless flies, and they are scrambling on the battlefield. The commander's efficiency is too low to keep up with the changing situation on the battlefield.

In many units, the regiment could not contact the division, and the division could not contact the army. The entire Russian army in East Prussia was in chaos.

In this case, naturally did not escape the expectations of Mochi. Now that he had changed from a hard fight to a tailwind fight, he decisively put the recruits in the rear into the battle.

With its strength in strength, the General Army quickly gained dominance on the battlefield. The Russian army in chaos collapsed all the way, retreating all the way to the West Dvina River to barely stand up. (Now Daugava in Latvia)

At this time, the Russian army had reduced sharply from 386,000 before the war to 112,000, and it had also lost a lot of strategic materials and almost all artillery.

The General Army did not dare to go any further. Winter in the Baltic Sea had arrived. They had to clear the Russian troops in the territory as soon as possible and consolidate the results they had achieved.

The situation on the battlefield triggered the whole body. With the fall of Lithuania, the Belarus region suddenly emerged.

After the flanks were threatened, the Russian army, which was still attacking the Allied forces of Popol, had to shrink its line of defense. However, at this time, it was too late to make a decision.

After the East Prussian regional war, the general forces reinforced themselves at the fastest speed, biting a piece of meat at the point of the Russian army's retreat.
